Iowa high school students may be required to pass a U.S. citizenship test before receiving their diplomas.

A proposed bill in the Iowa House of Representatives would prevent students from graduating unless they answered 60 percent or more questions correctly on the exam from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the same percentage immigrants need to get in order to earn their citizenship.

The bill describes the test as "A civics examination that shall be the same as, and shall include all questions used in,the latest available civics examination administered by the United States citizenship and immigration services."

Iowa isn't the only state that has considered requiring students to pass the citizenship test in order to graduate. The Texas House had a similar proposal in May.

Now Playing:

Trump Proposal Gives 1.8 Million Undocumented Immigrants Path to Citizenship Trump's proposal would help 700,000 undocumented immigrants covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program when it expires. He would also be covering those who meet DACA requirements and didn't sign up, as well as those who would be newly eligible under the proposal's timeframe requirements. The pathway to citizenship would take 10-12 years, according to Trump. The $25 billion wouldn't just go towards the wall, but also border infrastructure and technology, as well as more funds for personnel. The plan also includes $25 billion for a border wall and other immigration reform. It would also put an end to family reunification.

The test covers basic American history, democracy and how the government operates.

While some may scoff and think the test is easy, a study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that only a quarter of Americans (26 percent) can name all three branches of government. The study also found that 53 percent of Americans incorrectly think undocumented immigrants do not have rights under the U.S. Constitution. The study claims 37 percent of people surveyed couldn't name any of the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment.

Whether such bills will pass remains to be seen. For now, see how you would fair in our citizenship test in the gallery above.
